Iguazu Falls

Reviewed By milansebastian - London, United Kingdom

We made a fabulous 7-day trip through the northeast of Argentina, we started with the Ibera National Park, the visit to the wetlands is mandatory for wildlife lovers, we visited the Jesuit missions and the Mocona Falls and Encantado Falls, leaving the waterfalls From Iguazú, for the latter, it was a great success of our travel agency Tierra Colorada Turismo, otherwise you would not have enjoyed the previous attractions so much, the falls are fabulous, we visited the Argentine falls in one day and we took noon to visit the Brazilian falls with the bird park, during the excursion we also did a boat trip that was worth it. Without a doubt, a wonderful closure I highly recommend in Northeast Argentina.

Garganta del Diablo

This wonder of nature permits the observation of one of the most unique landscapes in the World; constituted by the upper Iguazu River and the Subtropical Forest, which frame the incredible Devil's Throat balcony. Three ring-shaped balconies permit a special view of the colossal “throat”, the culmination of the journey: a giant horseshoe-shaped waterfall 150 meters / 492 feet long, and 80 meters / 262 feet high. Here the water falls with such potency that it creates dense clouds of vapor as it pours into the river below. From here you can experience such wonderful sensations, offering you amazing and unforgettable moments:- Just listening to the roar of the waterfalls - Feeling the vapor of waterfalls- Appreciating the rainbows that form amongst the clouds of water and rays of the sun - Admiring the contrasts of colors between the green forest and the blue sky, or the white color of the water foam and the red soil. - A separate spectacle is offered by the “vencejos” - birds unique to the Iguazu Falls that swoop down along the falls, as if they wanted to be confused with the curtains of water.This fabulous place is located 2080 m / 1 mile from the Devil's Station. You arrive by the Ecological Jungle Train, 5 km / 3miles from the Central Station. The Iguazu National Park Waterfalls Area has assorted activities. Along the upper and lower walkways you will be able to admire between 160 and 275 falls, the Devil's Throat being the most impressive one.

Every fall is different in Iguazu. You can spend your day just admiring the beauty of nature. The sound of the waterfall is so relaxing.

Salto San Martin

Reviewed By BruceM457 - Durham, United States

You can take a boat trip up river to the bottom of the falls, and it's well worth it, although you get pretty wet. You get a sense of the massive volume of water coming through.

Cataratas del Iguazu - Lado Argentino

Reviewed By mcitaly2016 - Santiago, Chile

80% of the park is in Argentina, and one can see the most part of the waterfalls very closely, sometime right on top (or at the bottom) of them. There are 3 paths. The most beautiful (and crowded) is Devil´s Throat day that one reaches with the internal train from the park entrance. The other paths are the Upper and the Lower Trail, all beautiful. Each one requires 1.5/2 hour walk, but quite easy and almost all flat. If you go in summer prepare for 35c and 90% humidity, so bring plenty of water and use light clothes. You will most likely get wet at the Devil´s Throat due to the vapor clouds above the waterfalls. There are monkeys and birds easy to spot. Prepare for long queue at the entrance, but worth it. Inside there are bars.

Waterfall Garganta Del Diablo

Reviewed By Travel_Maniac08 - Buenos Aires, Argentina

We left Tilcara with the car and took the road to Garganta del Diablo. Some say you can walk but I recommend taking the car and enjoy the road with many curbs to get to the parking place close to La Garganta. You need to walk down a bit in order to see the garganta. Also you can walk upstream in a small river that takes you to a natural small waterfall. We really enjoy the hike and jumping from one side to the other of the stream.
